Jun. 23, 2010 IBM 'fab club' aligns 28-nm process, jabs rival
Four companies in IBM Corp.’s ''fab club’’--IBM, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, and STMicroelectronics--said that they are in collaboration to ''synchronize’’ the production of chips, based on its previously-announced, 28-nm low-power process. GlobalFoundries will not ship a 32-nm bulk technology with high-k. Instead, it will ramp a 32-nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology with high-k for a customer, namely Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Not long ago, AMD spun-off its manufacturing unit into a new company called GlobalFoundries. [EE Times]
